Styliani Kaltsidou - EuroBasket Women 2015 Profile

With experience at the very highest level and a long-standing EuroLeague Women performer, the return of Kaltsidou will provide a significant thrust behind the prospects of Greece. She flourishes in teams that have a disciplined structure, so will love playing under Coach Dikeoulakos after missing out two years ago with serious injury. She has good defensive qualities and is an important rebounder as evidenced when she led Greece in this category at the FIBA World Championship for Women in 2010. She is also regularly pushing for top positions in scoring and assists - something that underlines her all-round ability. She is always most effective when she finds the hot-hand from behind the three-point line like she was at the FIBA World Championship for Women in 2010. She never backs down from a challenge, as well as being a real leader, which makes her important on and off the court.
